Plot: Remember that plarn tutorial from a while ago? Well, the reason I posted it was because I was hard at work, knitting plarn into a reusable grocery bag. Somehow, it never made it on the blog. After using it several times, I will admit that the plastic does stretch quite a bit, BUT it is surprisingly strong and can hold quite a bit of weight! Plus, you get lots of nice compliments in the check out line — I swear one time the employee had to show the whole store before she could finish putting my groceries inside.

Plot: I fell in love with this pretty awesome Berroco Campus yarn in ‘Latte’ at a yarn shop I had never been to before called “Yarn” (how creative) in Durango. I’m not the biggest football fan, so every Sunday night I would knit while “watching” the Broncos game with Mary, Nick, and Winston. These mittens and headband are a product of those nights! I love them. I found the 4 double sided needle mitten pattern on Ravelry.com, and if you are a knitter OR crocheter and haven’t taken a look at that site yet – head on over! They have tons of free patterns and a pretty powerful search engine. Its a great resource. The headband I just kind of made up. Super easy: its all garter stitch, cinched with a yarn I braided together.

Conceived by two 20-something redheads one summer day, this blog is now born and will be devoted to all things crafty and creative. Like many of our ideas, we’re not exactly sure what direction the project will take, but we are setting off on this little adventure in hopes that we can share our inspiration, ideas, and love for creativity with the world around us. We’re hoping you’ll join us!
